“Wells Fargo continues to say what its anti-discrimination policies are. But the jury and the court plainly heard from Wells Fargo’s own witnesses that executives at the highest level of the bank had never even read the policies, much less followed them,” Gessner said.
I guess this is what all that severance is truly set aside for...this is probably just the beginning.
Will my bad headaches be accommodated ?
Actually what happens is the laid off person is replaced - after a period of time - either in India (most likely) or in a hub. The work didn't go away. It just went on hiatus while the personnel shuffling took place.
This legal decision is AWESOME!
Quite a costly decision for WF. Good for him! I suspect several more lawsuits will be filed over the coming months for different reasons related to RTO, Accommodations, Age Discrimination, etc. They tell people their job/position has been eliminated but the work didn't go anywhere. It has to get absorbed by the already overworked remaining staff. Buckle up WF Execs - this could be a bumpy ride!
